If you are going to be playing a full screen game that you would like to give 100% of Windows resources to when playing, it can be useful to have a way to turn Rainmeter off when you start playing and and back on when you are done.

This little addon will take care of this for you. Just run it before you start your game, and it will exit Rainmeter and put a little icon in the system tray. When you are done, just click the icon and select "Restart Rainmeter".

The application can be run from any location.

Every little helps even though Skyrim seems to be very tolerant and perform surprisingly well on lower spec systems. In addition to closing down Rainmeter and your antivirus, you might just as well apply a few Skyrim.ini tweaks along the lines of those listed in Step 5 of these tips.

That done, why not add a Rainmeter logo to your Krosis mask?

You could detect if a window was topmost and kill rainmeter that way as well. All games that I know of have the "Topmost" attribute applied to them (minus simple things like minesweeper and solitaire).
